Storming onto the British art scene with their unorthodox installations, Tim Noble and Sue Webster have exhibited some of the most exciting art in the past two decades.

“There are two sides to the work; the shiny side and the dark side. That kind of reflects the two personalities within us,” explains Webster. Their art speaks bilingually to sculpture and to the image it projects: from the piles of garbage and taxidermy that construct the work, to the silhouette projected when it is illuminated.

See their 'Cabinet of Curiosities' at EWX from January 22 2012.
